The 2025 Delhi Assembly elections have concluded with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) locked in a closely contested battle. Live updates from various news sources indicate that the results have led to significant surprises, with several top leaders from both parties trailing in critical constituencies. Notably, AAP’s Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal faces a tough challenge in the New Delhi constituency, where early trends show him behind BJP candidate Meenakshi Lekhi. Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia is also reportedly behind in the Patparganj seat.
The BJP, hoping to regain power in the capital, has strategically campaigned on infrastructure development and law and order issues. Union Minister Amit Shah stated, ‘This election is about bringing development and safety to Delhi.’
In contrast, the AAP is focusing on its record in education and health sectors, with spokespersons arguing that the delivery of services has improved under their governance. AAP leader Raghav Chadha mentioned, ‘Our model for education and healthcare has shown results, and we will continue to fight for the people of Delhi.’
The Congress party, which has historically been a major player in Delhi politics, appears to be struggling again, with its candidates trailing in most seats as per the latest reports. The final results are still anticipated, but the atmosphere in the counting centers is tense as supporters from both AAP and BJP await the official announcement from the Election Commission.
With everything on the line, these results are critical for the political landscape of Delhi, and both parties are keenly aware of the implications of this election for their future strategies and governance in the national capital.
